Hi,
I've been using Pocketbook Pro 903 for several years, but now would like to switch to 13.3" for my PhD (have to read through tons of books, papers, make corrections etc.). So far considering Onyx Max, Sony DPT-S1 and maybe Microsoft Surface Pro 4 (a colleague is arguing that it is the resolution not the LCD vs E-ink that matters for eyestrain (perhaps based on smth. like this:
http://the-digital-reader.com/2012/1...yes-than-lcds/) and the Surface does really well here with it's 2736 × 1824 display). Anyhow, so far from my own experience with LCD at work, home vs E-ink in my Pocketbook, I have to say that reading E-ink for longer period feels much better for my eyes, so will try to stick to the first two. So, just wanted to make sure I´m getting this right in order to make the best choice:
1) Price. The cheapest Sony I can get here in Germany is about 900€ from either Japan or US. So Onyx wins here with say ~600 €.
2) Display. No difference, they both come with 13.3" 1600 x 1200, 16-level gray scale.
3) Memory, CPU. Onyx has a 1GHz CPU with 1GB RAM and 16GB storage vs 1 GHz CPU, no idea about the RAM and 4GB storage for Sony. So Onyx wins here.
4) Multimedia. Built-in speakers, a microphone, headphone jack for Onyx vs no nothing for Sony. Onyx wins here.
5) Touch. Onyx works only with stylus whereas Sony supports stylus and also has a normal Multi-Touch Support. Don´t know about the response time though. Sony wins here.
6) Battery. 4100mAh for Onyx vs 1270mAh for Sony. Onyx wins.
7) Software. Android with apps, features for Onyx vs Sony´s own interface. Onyx wins.
8) Connectivity. Bluetooth and Wifi for Onyx vs Wifi for Sony. Onyx wins.
9) Weight. 496g for Onyx vs 357g for Sony. Sony wins.
10) Have I forgotten something..?
So, in principle, I would say, unless the touchscreen is a major concern, considering the ~300€ price difference, Onyx looks like a winner here. Any comments, recommendations?
Thanks in advance!
Best wishes,
